The 1 inion, that the practice of conducting scholars too 

soon fio og to reading lessons is of very pernicious eilect ; and he 

be^ therefore, inserted a greater number of spelling lesson i than there 
n books of this kind, and lie has taken particular care to kave 
lessons very easy, that the scholar may be conducted to those 
which are more -difficult as gradually as possible. The lamentable fact, 
that many emerging from our schools and academics at the present, day, 
are poor orthographers, has induced him to extend his spelling lessons 
i very considerably. Re likewise takes the liberty to enjoin it most ear- 
nestly upon Tnstructers, to confine their pupils to this most important sub- 
ject, this root of education, much more. closely, and for a greater length of 
time, than is usually practised, satisfied that nothing else will remedy an 
evil so deplorable.' The Author is highly pleased that our schools are fur* 
nished with reading books adapted to the capacities of scholars of every 
age, as it has rendered it perfectly consistent for ham to enlarge the portion 
ot spelling lesson s, to the exclusion of many usually inserted for exercise i 
in reading. 

The words contained in chapter fifty-eight, in which there are twe or 
more of the same pronunciation, but of different spelling and signification, 
are omitted in the other chapters, as it is very difficult for children to dis- 
tinguish the orthography of these words when they are inter mingled with 
others, and not associated with their definitions. 

With respect to the insertion of pictures in a Spelling-Book, it appears 
to be evident that they are of no advantage, and that a greater quantity of 
Spelling-Books is destroyed, than there would be, "were they not insertsd. 
A school-teacher wott^ unquestionably, punish his scholars for making 
use of play things in *sibdc4 -, then, I would ask, is it consistent to permit 
them to spend an hour or two every day in turning over the leaves of their i 
I books to find the pictures and play with them? 

The Author of the present work being fully aware that habits and prin 
cipies imbibed in childhood are seldom eradicated, lias long regretted that ' 
those very books from which the first principles of our language are drawn, 
should inculcate errour, and be instrumental in perpetuating both a dis- 
similar and vulgar pronunciation. To have mentioned a lew of the most 1 
prominent errours contained in the Speliing-L-ooks now in use, is suffi- 
cient for the present purpose, as the publick, or at least those who labour 
for the instruction of youth, must, have discovered and regretted that very 
extensive deficiency which has impelled the Author to action. 

With regard to the justice of these remarks, the Author leaves it whslly 
;for the candid and judicious to decide, and would only observe, that if tfSB 
following work should meet the approbation of sn enlightened coajnMBtfi^ 
: he will esteem it the highest reward he can receive.

16 'Rudiments of. the 

In the following work, when the vowel e ends a word or syllable, arid 
is preceded by a consonant, and printed in a Roman character, it serves 
to lengthen the preceding vowel in that syllable, as in abate, confine- 
ment, seduce, &e. ; but in all other cases when it ends a syllable it i,s 
printed in Itallck. When e ends a word or syllable, and is printed in an 
lialick character, immediately preceded by c or g, the c should be pro- 
nounced like .<?, and the g should have its soft sound, as in notice, arrange, 
pronounced notis, arranje. 

N. B. In the chapters of the following work, which are intended for 
spelling lesions, d, t, x, and z, have their proper sounds, unless otherwise 
defined ; g has its soft sound before e, i, and y, unless otherwise denned 
by note or reference ; ch has the sound of tsh, unless otherwise defined by 
reference. The different sounds of th are also defined ; bb, dd, jf\ 11, ss, &c. 
are all printed in Roman characters, notwithstanding ene letter alone 
would be sufficient to express the sound. 

Of Letters, Syllables, Words, and Sentences. 

Q. What do letters form? 

A. Syllables, syllables form words, and words form sen- 
tences, which compose a discourse. 

Q. What is a syllable ? 

A. It is a distinct sound uttered with a single impulse of the 
voice, and making a part of a word, or a word, as an, wan. 

Q. What is a word of one syllable called? 

A. A monosyllable ; a word of two syllables is called a dis- 
syllable ; a word of three syllables is called a trisyllable ; a 
word of four or more syllables, is called a polysyllable. 

Q. How many kinds of words are there? 

A. Four ; primitive, derivative, simple, and compound. 

Q. What is a primitive word ? 

A. It is a word which is not derived ; but constitutes a 
radical stock, from which other words are derived, as man, 
hope, charm. 

Q. What is a derivative word ? 

A. It is a word which is formed of the primitive, and some 
different termination, or an additional syllable, as manful, 
hopeful, charming, hopes, charms. 

Q. What is a simple word ? 

A. It is a word which cannot be divided without destroy- 
ing the sense, as man, child. 

Q. What is a compound word ? 

A. It is a word which is formed of two simple words, as 
chimney-piece, ink-stand. 

Q. What is spelling 1 



the English Language* 17 

A. It is the art of expressing words by their proper let- 
tors ; or of rightly dividing words into syllables. 

Of Accent, Emphasis, and Cadence. 

Q, What is accent? 

A. It is a forcible stress of voice on a letter or syllable, in 
order to distinguish it from other letters or syllables in the 
same word. If it fall on a vowel, the sound of the vowel is 

1 
prolonged, as in ha her: if it fall on the consonant, the sound 

4 
of the preceding vowel is short, as in hah it. Accent is ei- 
ther primary or secondary. Primary accent is that which 
distinguishes one syllable or letter from the rest. Secondary! 
accent is a less forcible stress of voice than the primary*! 
which we frequently place on another syllable, in words of 
three or more syiiables, in order to pronounce it mere dis- 
tinctly and forcibly than we do the unaccented syllables. 

Q. What is emphasis ? 

A. It is a peculiar stress of voice, which is laid on a par- 
ticular word or words in a sentence, in order to distinguish 
them from the rest of the words in tb» sentence, on account 
of their importance. 

Q. What is cadence ? 

A. It is a depression or modulation of the voice in read- 1 
ing or speaking, which generally occurs at the end of the 
sentence. 



As Orthography is the first Btcry to all sciences, but more particularly to 
the English Language, it is highly important that a just knowledge of it 
should be attained by the student before he proceeds to the higher branches 
of education. This part of an education is evidently too much neglected 
in our common schools ; teachers, whether acquainted with it or not, are apt to 
think it of but little importance, and pass precipitately from it to other lessons ; 
but this is certainly injudicious : a building cannot be elegant and perma- 
nent, unless erected on a good foundation. I have, therefore, as I trust, 
made an appropriate selection of questions and answers in Orthography for 
my young friends, and I sincerely hope they will pay that attention to them, 
which is justly due to the subject. 

Teachers should frequently exercise their pupils in the foregoing ques- 
tions, so that they may be enabled to acquire a correct knowledge of the ru- 
diments of the Language ; which is the foundation, and most essential part 
of literature.

CHAPTER III. 

Easy words of two syllables, accented on the first. 

N. B. If the stress of voice fall on a vowel, the sound of the vowel is conse- 
quently long, and is marked by nVure 1. If the stress of voice fall on a 
consonant, the sound oi' the preceding vowel is consequently short, and is 
marked by figure 4. 
No figures are placed over the vowels in unaccenUd syllables ; it ought to be 
observed, however, that in unaccented syllables, almost all vowels are, 
generally, pronounced like % and u short. 

or, is pronounced ur, tu tor, tu tur ; 

cr, is pronounced ur, o ver, o vur ; 

ar. is pronounced ■dr, li ar, li ur ; 

et, is pronounced it, far ret, fer rit. 
The figures are placed over the vowels of the accented syllables, and one 
figure denotes the sound of the vowels in the syllables which are thus pla- 
ced under that figure, or which follow in that column, until another 
figure occurs.

CHAPTER V. 

vjords of three syllables, the primary or full accent on 
the first syllable, and the secondary accent on the third 

syllable. 

Note. Teachers of schools ought to be very careful to point out to their' 

pupils the proper sound of every letter and syllable, (the unaccented 

lea in particular ;) for a right pronunciation of the unaccented syl-; 

lahles constitutes the beauty of pronunciation, and forms a correct basis 

for their future improvement.

t I have given the vowel a, when followed by nee, nt 3 ss, st, &c. its short, 
and not its flat sound, as Mr. Webster, and others, have given it ; and 
likewise the vowel o, in words- where it is followed by 55 or s and a mute : 
consonant, I have given it the sound of broad a short, although Mr. V 
ster, and others, have given it the sound of broad a long in this situation. 

Mr. Walker, (speaking of a when fiat.) says, "this sound of a was 
found before the nasal liquid ??, especially when succeeded by c, d, or t, 
as in dance, glance, grant, plant, slander, &c. The hissing consonant s, 
was likewise a sign of this sound of a, whether doubled, as in glass, lass, 
&c. or accompanied by t, as in cast, fast, &c. but this pronunciation of a ; 
seems to have been for some years advancing to the short sound of this 
letter, as heard in hand, land, &c. and pronouncing the a in after, ansuer i 
basket, mast, &c. as long as in half, calf &c. borders very closely on 
vulgarity ;" he says, however, "that this was the sound formerly, is highly 
probable, from its being still the sound given it by the vulgar, who are 
generally the last to alter the common pronunciation." 

In speaking of 0, he says, " this letter, like a, has a tendency to lengthen, 
when followed by a liquid and another consonant, or by 5, ss, or 5 and a 
mute ; but this length of seems every day more and more vulvar, and as 
it would be gross to a degree to sound the a in castle, mask, and plant, like. 
I the a in palm, psalm, &c. so it would be equally exceptionable to pronounce 
the m moss, and frost, as if written mawse, frawst."

CHAPTER XIII. 

Select Sentences, of easy words, calculated to teach 
Children to read, and at the same time to infuse 
into their tender minds some just ideas of their 
duty, and the rudiments of sanctity and virtue. 

Lesson L 

Love that which is good, and shun vice. 
My sen, do as you are bid, but do no ill. 
Rest in the Lord, and mind his word. 
The Lord is good, in all his works and ways. 
M} r son, hold fast the law that is good. 
You must not tell a lie, nor do hurt. 
♦ Mark the man that doth well, and do so too. 
A bad man is a foe to the taw. 

Lesson II. 

Help such as want help, and be kind. 
Hate no man, but love both friends and foes. 
A bad man can take no rest, day nor night 
Sin will lead us to pain and wo. 
A bad life will make a bad end. 
We must pray for them that hate us. 
We must love them that love not us. 
We must do as we like to be done to. 

Lesson III. 

I will love the law and keep it. 
I will walk with the just and do good. 
I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. 
He must live well that will die well. 
He doth live ill that doth not mend. 
In time to come we must do no ill. 
No man can say he has no sin ; 
For all men have gone out of the way.

A Just Standard for Pronouncing 
Lesson IV. 



A good boy will do all that is just ; he will flee from 
vice ; he will do good, and walk in the way of life. 

Love not the world, nor the things that are in the 
world ; for they are sin. 

I will not fear what 'flesh can do to me ; for my trust is 
in Him who made (he world : 

He is nigh to them that pray to him and praise hk 
name. 

Lesson V. 

Be a good child ; mind your book ; love your school, 
and strive to learn. 

Tell no tales ; call no ill names ; you must not lie, nor 
cheat, nor swear, nor steal. ; 

Play not with bad toys y -use no ill words at play; 
spend your time well ; live in peace, and shun all strife. 

This is the way to make gpod men love you, and^to 
save your soul from pain and wo. 

Lesson VI. 

He that speaks loud in school, will not learn his own 
book well, nor let the rest learn theirs ; but those that 
make no noise will soon be wise, and gain much love 
and good will. 

If you have done wrong, own your fault ; for he that 
tells a lie to hide it makes it worse. 

He that tells the truth is a wise child ; but he that tells 
lies, will not be heard when he speaks the truth. 

Mock not the lame, or deafj or dumb ; bur be glad you 
are not so.

CHAPTER XV. 

Advice to Children. 

Lesson I. 

Rise with the lark each clay, for it is wrong to lose your 
time in bed. 

When you rise, pray to God to keep you from harm, 
and do the same when you lie down at night. 

Gome to school clean and neat, play not by the way, 
nor let your voice be heard in the street. 

When you go to school, take your book and go to your 
seat ; make no noise, but strive to learn as fast as you can. 

Love him that loves his book, and speaks good words, 
and does no harm ; for such a friend may do you good all 
the days of your life. 

Be kind to all as far as you can, for you know not how 
soon you may want their help, and he that has the good 
will of all that know him, will not want a friend in time 
of need. 

If you want to be good, wise, and great, read with care 
j such books as have been made by good and wise men ; 
think of what you read in your spare hours ; be brisk at 
play : but do not waste your time in bed. 

Re not proud of what you have, for fools may wear fine 
clothes ; but a wise child is known by his words. 

Be not false in thy words, but speak the truth at all 
times. 



62 A Just Standard for Pronouncing' 

Let thy words be few, and sin not with thy tongue. 

Love God with all your heart, and serve him with all 
your might, so shall he bring you to joy and peace. 

There is but one God, who made the world. He made 
the trees and plants to grow out of the ground, and worms 
that live in it. 

He made both men and beasts that walk on the earth, 
the birds that fly in the air, and the fish that swim in the 
sea. 

He made the sun, moon, and stars ; and all things we 
see are the works of his hands. 

Lesson II. 

My son, hear the words of thy father, and forsake not 
the law of thy mother. 

My son, keep my word, and lay up my precepts with 
thee. Keep my commandments, and my law, as the ap- 
ple of thine eye. 

Bind them upon thy fingers; write them upon thy 
heart. 

My son, if sinners entice thee to sin, consent thou not. 

Walk not in the way with them ; refrain thy feet from 
their path. 

A wise son hears the counsel of his father ; but a foolish 
son hears not rebuke. 

There is a way which seems right unto a man ; but to 
r ' I-k in it, is death* 

Go net in the way of evil men; avoid it; pass not by 
it ; turn from it ; and pass away. 

The upright shall inherit the land ; and tlie righteous 
shall remain in it. 
MMUfotwrK ivii rr n iiiaiiifiiifi iii i, iwiimwumniitBa'am 






the English Language. 



63 



The wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and die 
transgressor shall be rooted out of it. 

Socst thou a man wise in his own conceit? 

There is more hope of a fool than of him. 

Happy is the man that finds wisdom. 

Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left 
hand, riches and honour. 

Her ways are pleasant, and all her paths are peace. 



CHAPTER XVI.

syllable, and the secondary accent on the third.

t The inrlnenee of accent en the sotmd of the vowels does not appear j 
more [icrccptibly in any part ef the language, than in the syllables, cot, ' 
corn. con, raid cur. When the accent, either primary or secondary, is on 
these svihibh -s, as 'meollor^ comet, consul, corrigible, colonnade, correspond- 
ent, &c. the o hi* distiriciiy the sound of broad a short. But when the 
accent is on the succeeding syhable, the o, in colloquial pronunciation, slides 
into a soun as in collusive, commit, convince, corrupt, &c. 

prone, i need as if written cullusivc. cummit, ciinx'uice, cxirrupt, &c. It is 
'true, I licit se words are pronounced alone with deliberation, 

energy, and precision, the o preserves nearly its true sound; but it seems 
| to sli >rt u the moment we unite these words with others, 

nd pronounce them without premeditation.

j t G lias its soft sound in abridg-ment, lodg-ing, lodg-er, &c. (although. 
! at the end of a syllable, ) as in the primitives, abridge, lodge, &c. from 
| which they are derived. 

t S. in the prefix d is, when either the primary or secondary accent is on 
j it, is always sharp and hissing, as in district, dissolute, disoblige, &c. ex- 
jeept in the word dismal, in which it should l>e sounded like z : but when 
ithe accent is on the second syllable, the s is cither sharp or flat, as it is io\- 
\ lowed either by a vowel, or a sharp or liat consonant ; thus disable, disaster, j 
leliscase, dishonest, disorder, &c. have the « in dis flat like z, bceaufce the 
| accent is not on it, and a vowel begins the next syllable; but discharge, 
| discredit, disfavour, diskifidness, dispense, distaste, &c. have the s sharp 
| and hissing, because a sharp consonant begins the succeeding accented syl- 
' labk: ; and disband, disdain, disgrace, disjoin, disvalue, &e. nave the s flat 
i like z, because they are succeeded by a flat consonant in the same situation

CHAPTER XIX, 
Lesson I. 

Let not reading cause you to neglect spefling. Learn 
to spell and pronounce before you read much. 

Good spelling is the sure way to good reading ; there- 
fore, study spelling with the greatest care, until you can 
spell all the words in this book, as soon as you hear them, 
without seeing them. 

When you can spell well, you will soon become a good 
reader ; and as soon as you shall be able to read well, you 
will be permitted to study grammar. 

Grammar will teach you what is meant by the parts of 
speech, and how to speak and write as you ought ; and 
without the knowledge of grammar, your language will 
be incorrect, and you will always be marked by your 
friends as a poor scholar. 

Lesson II. 

A good book is like a good friend, it will teach us good 
tilings ; but bad books are like bad men, they will teach 
us wrong things, and lead to sin and death. 

If we lead a good life, we shall have no reason to fear, 
death ; but if our ways be bad we must change them, or 
our end will be miserable. 

Our whole life is made up of hours, days, months, and 
years ; and if we wish the whole to be good, we must see 
that each part is good, and then our end will be happy. 

God made us to bless us, and lie will do so, if we love 
him, and try to do all that is good, just, and true. We musl 
be kind to the poor : we must feed and clothe then:- and 
give them what they need if we can, and not let them suf- 
fer for want of our aid. 

God is , v.vA what we give to them, 

we I :■ }»e will repay us. 

Virtue exalts a nation; but s'm is a rep any 

people.

CHAPTER XXIV. 

Idleness will bring thee to poverty ; but by industry and 
prudence thou shalt be filled with' bread. 

Wealth obtained by deceit is soon wasted ; but he that 
gathers by labour shall increase in riches. 

By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted ; but 
it is overthrown b)*-the mouth of the wicked. 

Where no counsel is, the people fall ; hut in the midst 
of counsellors there is safety. 

Train tip a child in the way he should go, and when 
he is old he will not depart from it. 

Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest, yea, he will 
give delight to thy soul.

the English Language, 
CHAPTER XXVI. 



83 



In the following chapter, when n is in an accented sylla- 
ble, and is immediately followed by Ar, y, or c, hard, it has a 
compound and mfeed sound, as if It were followed by g hard, 
as in bank, con-quer, un-cle, which are pronounced as if 
written bangk, kojig-kur, ung-kl. 

Note. — The publishers of Walker's Dictionary in New- York, Albany, 
Hartford, Cooperstown, Bellows Falls, Cananclaigua, Baltimore, and of the 
small Dictionary in Philadelphia, have not observed the true pronunciation 
of many of the words in the following chapter. The publishers of the Phil- 
adelphia large Dictionary, have observed the rule very closely.

CHAPTER XXYIII. 

William, tell me how many mills make a cent ? Ten. 
How many cents make a dime ? Ten. How many 
dimes make a dollar ? Ten. How many dollars make 
an eagle? Ten. An eagle is a gold coin, and the lar- 
gest which is coined in the United States. Dimes and 
! ; dollars are silver coins. Cents are copper coins. These 
are new species of coin. What is the ancient manner 
reckoning money ? By pounds, shillings, pence, and 
farthings. 



REMARKS. 

The friendships of mankind can subsist no longer than | 
interest cements them together. 

If men praise your efforts, suspect their judgement ; if 
they censure them, your own. 

We ask advice, but we mean approbation. 

If you are under obligations to many, it is prudent to 
postpone the recompensing of one, until it shall be in 
your power to remunerate all, otherwise jofr will make 
more enemies by what you give, than by wliat vou with- 
hold. 

Imitation is the sincerest of flattery. 

If rich, it is easy enough to conceal our wealth ; but 
if poor, it is not quite so easy to conceal our poverty. We 
shall find that it is less difficult to hide a thousand guineas 
tliaii one hole in our coat.

societies it is advisable to associate with the 

i >t that the highest are always the best, but, 

rusted there, we can at any time descend, but u 

begin with the lowest, to ascend is impossible. In the 

;•:! theatre of human life, a box ticket takes us through

I we will not know them, because we hate them:

Believe nothing flier, but upon good author-

As the branches of a tree return their sap to the root 
front whence it arose ; and as a river pours its streams 
into the sea, whence its spring was supplied ; so a grate- 
ful man returns a benefit which he has received, and his 
heart is delighted therewith. 

It is almost as difficult to make a person unlearn his er- 
rours, as his knowledge. Mal-information is more hope- 
less than non-information ; for errour is always more busy 






than ignorance. Ignorance is a blank sheet, on which 
we may write ; but errour is a scribbled one, on which we 
must first erase. Ignorance is contented to stand stiii

CHAPTER XXXI. 

In the following chapter, w at the end of a word is silent, 
and the 6 preceding it has its long sound, as in fel-low, 
wid'OW, loin-dow, pronounced jfcZ-Zo, wid-o, win-do, &c. 

The manner of pronouncing fcl-low, wid-oiv, win-dow. 
fel-Jur, wid-ur, win-du>\ &c. is a barbarous corruption of 
the language, and should be circumspectly avoided by every 
Instructer and person that wishes to pronounce correctly. 

Not* — If I mistake not, I have heard many teachers, in pronouncing the ; 
words ar-row, bar-rou, har-ron:. &c. give a its fiat sound : but this is ce 
tainly contrary to analogy^ and likewise to the authority of our orthoepist 
for they are all uniform in ffivteg a its short sound in words of this class.

Did youth but know the pleasures that arise from an 

early culture of the mind, I am led to believe they would 

not waste, in useless pursuits, the many hours they do. 

Could they be induced to become wise in season, they 

F| might escape those bitter regrets which await the idle and 

| vicious. 

How many have I been a witness to, who would have 
given life almost to redeem mispent time, when they have!; 
;seen others of their age and rank in Ijfe, who, by making 
virtue and a right use of time their first object, have risen |j 
'to honour and riches in the world. 

Many a trap is laid to insnare the feet of youth. 
A little that a good man hath, is better than the riches 
I >f many wicked persons. 

j: All our comforts proceed from the Father of Goodness. 
! The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 



Follow not the ways of evil men, they are of those thai 
| rebel against the light ; they know not its ways, nor abide 
I in its paths. 

He who formed the heart knows what passes within it. 

\Yc should be kind to all persons, even to those who are 
1 unkind to us. 

Reveal your secrets to none, unless it be as much their 
I interest to keep them, as it is yours they should be kept. 

Vice stings us, even in our p]@aeure3 ; but virtue con- 
! soles us, even in our pains. 

Of all the marvellous works of the Deity, perhaps there 
J is nothing that angels behold with such supreme astonish 
| ment as a proud man.

CHAPTER XXXVI. 

Who is she that with graceful steps, and with a lively 
air, walks over yonder plain ? 

The rose blushes on her cheeks ; the sweetness of the 
morning breathes horn her lips ; joy, tempered with inno- 
cence and modesty, sparkles in her eyes ; and cheerful 
riess of heart appears in all her movements. 

Her name is Health ; she is the daughter of Exercise 
and Temperance. 

Their sons inhabit the mountains and the plain. They 
are brave, active, and lively, and partake of all the beau- 
ties and virtues of their sister. 

Yigour ..springs their nerves ; strength dwells in their 
bones, and labour is their delight all the day. 

The employment of their father excites their appetites, 
and the repasts of their mother refresh them. 

To combat the passions is their delight ; to conquer 
evil habits their glory. 

Their pleasures are moderate, and therefore they are 
f repose is short, but sound and undisturbed. 

Their blood is pure, their minds are serene, and the 
. cian does not find the way to their habitation. 

I have seen' the (lower withering on the stalk, and its 

it leaves spread on the ground; I looked again, and 

forth afresh ;(|the stem was crowned with new 

d the sweetness thereof filled the air. 



the English Lavorvagc. &Q 

% 

I have seen the sun set in the west, and the si jades of 
i light shut in the wide horizon : there was no colour, 
nor shape, nor beauty, nor musick ; gloom and darkness 
brooded around: I looked again, the sun broke forth 
from the east, and gilded die mountain tops ; the la 
rose to meet him from her low nest, and the shades of 
darkness lied away. 

I have seen the insect, being come to its full extent, 
languish, and refuse to eat : it spun itself into a tomb, 
and was sh in the silken cone: it lay wi 

feet, or shape, or power to move : I looked again, i 
burst its tomb ; it was full of Hie, and sailed on coloured 
wings through the soft air ; it rejoiced in its new being. 

Tims shall it be with thee, 6 man ! and so shall thy 

Til- hall retun dust from whence it came, 

but thy soul to God who gave it ; and if thou art g< 
thou shall be happy ever more. 

o is he that comes to save from sin and eternal 
death ? 

He descends on a fiery cloud ; the sound of a trumpet 
os before him : thousands of angels are on his right 
illume!. 

is Jesus, the Son of God; the Saviour of men ; the 
| friend of the good. 

He comes in the glory of his Father ; he hath received 
| power irom en high. 

Mourn not, therefore, child of immortality ! for the 
iler, the cruel spoiler that laid waste the works of God, 
: Jesus hath conquered death : child of imnior- 
|; tctlit rn no longer. . 



Never sport with pain and distress in any of your 
amusements, nor treat even the meanest insect with wan- 
ton cruelty. 

We may escape the ce when we do 

i wrong privately ; but we cannot avoid the reproaches of 
our own mind.

TMH ROSE. 

How fair is the rose, what a beautiful flower ! 

In summer so fragrant and gay ! 
But the leaves are beginning to fade in an hour, 

And they wither and die in a day. 

Yet the rose lias one powerful virtue to boast 

Above all the flowers of the field ; 
When its leaves are all dead, and its fine colours lost, 

Still how sweet a perfume it will yield. 

So frail are the youth and the beauty of men, 
Though they look gay and bloom like the rose ; 

Yet all our fond care to preserve them is vain, 
Time kills them as fast as he goes. 

Then I'll not be proud of my youth or my beauty, 
Since both will soon wither and fade ; 

But gain a good name by performing my duty ; 
This will scent like the rose, when I'm dead

CHAPTER XLIL 

Who is he that has acquired wealth ; that has risen to 
[power; that has clothed himself with honour; that is 
i spoken of in the city with praise, and stands before the 
iking in his council? Even he thai has shut-out idleness 
[from liis house, and has said to sloth, thou art mine ene- 
my. He rises early and goes to rest late ; he exercises his 
jfmind with contemplation, and his body with action, and 
serves the health of both. 

The slothful man is a burden to himself: his hours 
heavily upon his head ; he loiters about and know? 
not what he would do. 

His days pass away like the shadow of a cloud, and 
leave behind them no mark for remembrance. His body 
is diseased for want of exercise, lie wishes for action, but 
lias no disposition to move. His mind is in darkness : 
j his thoughts are confused ; he longs for knowledge, but 
.he has no application. 

He would eat of the almond, but he hates the trouble of 
breaking its shell. 

His house is in disorder : his servants are wasteful and 
riotous, and he runs on to ruin ; he sees it with his 



106 A Just Standard for Pronouncing 

eyes, he hears, he shakes his head, and wishes; bathe 
has no resolution, till ruin comes upon him like a whirl- 
wind, and shame and repentance descend with him to the 
grave. 



SELECT SENTENCES. 

To be good, is to be happy. 

Vice, sooner or later, brings misery. 

We were not made for ourselves only. 

A good person has a tender concern for the happiness 
of others. 
. Modesty is one of the chief ornaments of youth. 

Deceit discovers a little mind. 

Cultivate the love of truth. 

No confidence can be placed in those who are in the 
habit of telling lies. 

Neglect no opportunity of doing good. 

Idleness is the parent of vice and misery. 

The real wants of nature are soon satisfied. 

Boast not of the favours you bestow. 

It is a great blessing to have pious and virtuous parents. 

The most secret acts of goodness are seen and appro- 
ved by the Almighty. 

Our reputation, virtue, and happiness, greatly depend 
on the choice of our companions. 

Good or bad habits, formed in youth, generally go with 
us through life. 

Our best friends are those who tell us of out faults, and 
teach us how to correct them. 

If tales w T ere not listened to, there would be no tale 
bearers. 

To take sincere pleasure in the blessings and excellen- 
ces of others, is a sure mark of a good heart. 

A kind word, nay, even a kind look, often affords com- 
fort to the afflicted. 

Every desire of the heart, and every secret thought, is. 
known to him who made us.

the English Language. 



107 



He that cares for himself only, lias but few pleasures, 
and those few are of the lowest order. 

Partiality to self, often hides from us our own faults, 
while we see very clearly the same faults in others. 

Whoso regards dreams, is like him that catches at a 
shadow and follows the wind. 

Commend not a man for his beauty Ji neither abhor a I 
man for his outward appearance. 

If thou seest a man of understanding, get thee betimes 
unto him, and let his precepts enlighten thy mind. 

Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not 
of liberty. 

Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not 
the sorrows of thy mother. 

How canst thou repay them the tilings they have done 
for thee?

CHAPTER XLYL 

The tongue of the sincere is rooted in his heart ; hy- 
pocrisy and deceit have no place in his words. 

He blushes at a falsehood, and is confounded ; but in 
speaking the truth he has a steady eye. 

He supports the dignity of his character as a man ; and 
scorns to stoop to the arts of hypocrisy. 

He is consistent with himself, he is never embarrassed, 
he has courage to speak the truth ; but to lie he is afraid. 

He is far above the meanness of dissimulation ; the 
| words of his mouth are the thoughts of his heart. 

Yet with prudence and caution he opens his lips ; he 
studies what is right, and speaks with discretion. 

He advises with friendship, he reproves with freedom, 
! and whatsoever he promises, he will if possible perform. 

But the thoughts of the hypocrite are hid in his breast ; 
he masks his words with the likeness of truth, while the 
business of his life is to deceive. 

He laughs in sorrow, he weeps in joy, and the words of 
his mouth have not the interpretation of his heart. 

He works in the dark as a mole, and fancies he is safe ; 
but he blunders into light and is^TFxposed with his dirt on 
his head. 

He passes his days in perpetual constraint ; his tongue 
and his heart are forever at variance. 

O fool! the pains which thou takest to hide what 
thou art, are more than would make thee what thou 
wouldst seem ; and the children of wisdom shall mock 
at thy cunning, when in the, midst of security, thy dis- 
guise is stripped oft and the finger of derision shall point 
thee to scorn. 



OBSERVATIONS. 

A wise man will consider, not so much the present 
! pleasure and advantage of a measure, as its future conse- 
ices. 
Sudden and violent passions are seldom durable. 



K2 



114 A Just Standard for Pronouncing' 

Never speak of a man's virtues to his face, nor of i 
liis faults behind his back; thus you will equally avoid; 
jiiattery, which is disgusting, and slander, which is j 
criminal. 

If you be poor, labour will procure you food and cloth- 
ing ; if you be rich, it will strengthen f lie body, invigorate 
the mind, and keep you from vice. Every person ought 
to be busy in some employment. 

We may as well expect that God will make us rich 
without industry, as that he will make us good and happy 
without our own endeavours. 

Some men read for the purpose of learning to write : 
others for the purpose of learning to talk ; the former 
study for the sake of science, and the latter for the sake 
of amusement. 

He seldom lives frugally, who lives by chance. 

Small parties make up in diligence what they want in 
; numbers. 

Were the life of man prolonged, he would become such 
la proficient in villany, that it would be necessary to drown 
j the world again, or to burn it. 

Despotism can. no more exist in a nation, until the 
liberty of the press be destroyed, than the night can hap- 
pen before the sun is set. 

| That virtue which depends on opinion, looks to secrecy 
jalone, and could not be trusted in a desert. 

More have been ruined by their servants, than b} r their 
\ masters. 

It is safer to be attacked by some men, than to be pro- 
jected by them. 

The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual 
j adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest 
I lame. 

There are some men whose enemies are to be pitied 
much, and their friends more. 

Charity is a burden, if we cannot be allowed to express 
our gratitude. 

Do not insult the poor ; poverty entitles a man to pity.

CHAPTER XLVII. 

In the following chapter, all the accented syllables end with 
a vowel, and the c, which follows the accented syllable, 
has the sound of sh, and the accented syllable is pronoun- 
ced as if it ended with sh, thus pi'e-cious, of-fi-ci-aie* 
pronounced presh-us, of-fish-e-ate. 

Note. — Teachers should have their scholars observe the same rule in pro- f 
frouncing the accented syllables short, when they spell them, in this and ' 
the following chapter, as in the thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth chapters

CHAPTER XLIX. 



In this chapter, t has the sound of tsh when followed by 
long u, and the accent precedes, as in fu-ture, rajp-ture^ 
pronounced fu~tshure, rap-ishure. 

Note. — Many speakers mistake the true principle of this rule, and pro- 
nounce op-por-tu-ni-ti/, tucs-day, $*c. op-por-ishu-ne-te, tshuz-dc^ frc. ; but 
they ought to recollect that/ never has the sound of tsh when in an accented 
syllable : it is the absence of the accent which causes it to slide into the 
weaker sound tsh'.

CHAPTER LIT. 
On the Importance of Time. 
The first requisite for hit reducing order into the man 
agemeal of time, is to be impressed with a iust sense of 

y.x j 

its value. 

If we delay till to-morrow "what ought to be done to- 
day, we overcharge the morrow with a burden which' 
does not belong to it 

Our ' 1 be accustomed, in our younger yearsJ 

to soiin bymestj wlucB i -ay engage our thought?. 1 

_ity of the soul at a riper age. 

He who perl rms ever)" eiupl^meut in its due place, and 
seasoo, suffers no part of time ioe>eape wiihout profit,- 

If we suffer the present time to be wasted, eiiher in ab- 
solute idleness or frivolous employments,- it will hereafter: 
call for vengeance against us. 



120 A Just Standard for Pronouncing 

As the season of youth is the best time for improve- 
ment, every precious hour of this short period should be 
husbanded with the most sacred care. 

A wise man counts his minutes ; he lets no time slip 
unimproved by him ; for time is life, which he makes 
long by a right use and application of it. 

A wise man uses time past for observation and refleoj 
tion ; time present, for duty ; and time to come, lie leaves 
to Providence. 

Of all prodigality, that of time is (lie worst. 

None but a wise man can employ leisure well, and lie 
that makes the best use of time, hath none to spare. 

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst ; jj 
for which we must all account, when time shall be 
more. 

The loss of wealth may be regained, the loss of health 
may be recovered ; but that of time can ne\cr be recall- 
ed. 

Waste not the particles of time, for like particles of 
gold, they possess their separate value. 

Although past time is gone, we may apply it to a 
very profitable purpose, if we lay hold of it while it re- 
mains in remembrance, and oblige it to contribute to fu- 
ture improvement. 

He who intends the improvement of his parts, must ex- 
actly mind the prudent spending of his time. 

The advantage of living does not consist in length of 
days, but in the right improvement of them. 

There is little need to drive away time by foolish di- 
versions ; it flies away very swiftly, and when once gone, 
can never be recalled. 

It is a melancholy truth, that though among the tal- 
ents of our stewardship, time is the most valuable, yet, in 
general, we are more profuse and regardless of it than of 
any other. 

Our season of improvement is short, and whether we 
use it or not, it wiU soon pass away. How necessary, 
"ore, to improve the present time.

'" ^^Wgy &gfl jji* ^^ 



J Tis net to pause wh door 

A shivering brother 
To ask the cause that dm poor f 

Or why he help demands. 

'Tis not to spurn that brothers prayer 
For faults lie once h n ; 

'Tisnot to leave him ir ; 

And say that I have none. 

The voice of charity is kind- 
She thinketh nothing wrong ; 

To every fault she feeemeth blind, 
Nor vauntetli with her tongue. 

In penitence she placeth faith — 
Hope smileth at her door ; 

Itelieveth first — then softly saith, 
" Go, brother, sin no more."

CHAPTER LXL 
REVENGE. 

Of all the passions which invade the human breast, re- 
l venge is the most direful. 

How much soever a person may suffer from injustice, | 
he is always in hazard of suffering more from the prose- 
cution of revc: 

How pleasing soever revenge may appear, it always 
.lore to a generous mind than worth. 

Revenge is a mean pleasure ; but to is glorious. 

lie who arrogates to liimself the right of vengeance, 
shows how little he is qualified to decide upoa his own 
claim- ; since certainly he demands what he would be 
unwilling to grant to a^notl 

lie who retires to meditate mischief, and exasperate 
his own rage, may justly be numbered amongst the most 
miserable of human beings. 

A passionate and revengeful temper renders a man 
unfit for advice, deprives hiin of his reason, and robs him 
of all that is great or noble in his nature. 

No principle is more noble than that of forgiving in- 
juries ; and nothing so wicked or unprofitable as rancor- 
ous revenge. 

* Hatred and revenge are perpetual stings in the breast 
of those who harbour them. 

A gentle and prudent reply to indecent and scurrilous j 
[language, is the most severe, though innocent revenue 

These who are read) 7 to forgive injuries, are esteemed 
for their clemency and forbearance, whilst those who 
I cherish revenge, are dreaded for the mischief they are 
j capable of doing. 

lie that watches for revenge lies in wait against him- 
!«elf, and draws down mischief on his own head. 

As he that can revenge an injury end will not, discovers 
| a virtuous and magnanimous disposition of soul ; so he j 
can return a kindness and does not, shows a mean I 
rid contemptible spirit. 



I 



tas English Language. 147 j 



The sweetest revenge is to do good to our enemies. 
By taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy ; 
•t in passing it over, he is superiour to him; 



Hail, beauteous stranger of the wood, 

Attendant on the spring ! 
Now heaven repairs thy vernal seat, 

Ar thy welcome sing. 

Soon as the daisy decks the green, 

Thy certain voice we hear ; 
Hast thou a star to guide thy path, 

Or mark the rolling year ? 

Delightful visitant ! with thee 

I hail the time of flowers, 
When heaven is fiii'd with musick sweet 

Of birds among the bowers. 

The schoolboy wandering in the wood, 

To puE the flowers so gay, 
Oft starts, thy curious voice to hear, 

And imitates thy lay. 

Soon as the pea puts on the bloom, 

Thou fly 'st the vocal vale ; 
An annual guest in other lands, 

Another spring to hail. 

Sweet bird ! thy bower is ever green. 

Thy sky is ever clear ; 
Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, 

No winter in thy year. 

O ! could I fly, I'd fly with thee ; 

We'd make, with joyful wing, 
Our annual visit o'er the globe, 

Companions of the spring.

CHAPTER LXIV. 
AN ESTIMATION OF POVERTY. 

Am I poor? This condition, rightly weighed, is not 
very bad. What is poverty? only the absence of a few, 
unnecessary tilings, which please wanton fancy rather than 
answer real need ; and without which nature is easily sat- 
isfied ; "and which, if we do not desire, we cannot wailt. 
But what is it to wear coarse clothes, to feed on plain and 
simple food, to work and take pains, to sit or go in a lower 
place, to have no heaps of cash, or hoards of gain, to keep 
no retinue, to have few friends and no flatterers ? It is a 
situation which has divers advantages, and many con- 
veniences and comforts connected with it. 

Its happy fruits and consequences free us from many 
cares and distractions, from many troubles and crosses, I 



A Just Standard for Pronouncing 

from many encumbrances, temptations, dangers, and dis- 
tempers of body. It frees us from grievous mischiefs to 
which wealth is exposed. 

It maintains health, industry, and sobriety. It pre- 
serves us from luxury, satiety, and sloth. It disposes us 
to act heartily, move nimbly, and sleep sweetly. It leads 
to dispositions of mind, freedom and leisure to attend to 
the study of truth, and the acquisition of virtue. 

It is a situation which many have borne with cheerful- 
ness, and which many very wise and eminently good men 
have voluntarily embraced. 

It is allotted by divine wisdom to most men ; the best 
often endure it. 

God has declared a special regard to persons in this 
state. The word of truth has pronounced them happy in 
having the gospel preached to them. Jesus Christ has 
sanctified this state by partaking deeply of it ; and by 
choosing the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of 
the kingdom. 

Can such a condition, then, be very loathsome? Can 
it reasonably displease us ? 

Ought we to murmur at it? should we not, from the 
above considerations, rather be thankful for it, than com- 
plain ?

CHAPTER LXVIII. 

AN ADDRESS TO YOUTHFUL FEMALES. 

Listen, fair daughter of innocence, to the instructions 
of prudence, and let the precepts of truth sink deep into 
thy heart ; so shall the charms of thy mind add lustre to 
the elegance of thy form ; and thy beauty, like the rose it 
resembles, shall retain its sweetness when its bloom is 
withered. 

It is a melancholy truth, that man too often prostitutes 
his boasted faculties to the destruction of female happiness. 
How necessary, then, to fortify your minds against the at- 
tacks of such vile seducers ! Blemishes in femaje charac- 
ters seldom are effaced. Not so with man. He tarnishes 
his name and brightens it again. 

But if xooman chance to swerve from the strictest rules 
of virtue, 

" Ruin ensues, reproach and endless shame) 
" And one false step forever blasts her fame. 
"In vain with tears the loss she may deplore, 
" In vain look back to what she was before, 
" She sets, like stars that fall, to rise no more?* 
Remember thou art made man's reasonable compan- 
ion, not the slave of his passions. The end of thy being 



\ 






the English Language. 165 

is to assist him in the toils of life, to sooth him -with thy 
tenderness, and to recompense his care with soft endear- 
ments. 

Who is she that wins the heart of man, that sub-dues 
him to love, and reigns in his breast ? Lo ! yonder she 
walks in maiden sweetness, with innocence in her mind, 
and modesty on -her cheek. Her hand seeks employ- | 
ment ; her feet delight not in rad. 

She is clothed with with temper- 

ance ; humility and meekness are as a crown of glory 
encircling her head. 

When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, she is 
beautiful as the stars of heaven. 

The innocence of her eye is like that of the turtle : sim- 
plicity and truth dwell in her heart. 

She presides in the house, and there is peace ; she com- 
mands with judgement, and is obe 

She arises in the morning: ■::■ tsic rs her affairs; 
and appoints to he sns their ess. 

The" care of her is her k ! V ; to that she ap- 

plies her study; and elegance wire is seen in 

her mansion. 

The prudence of her management is an honour to her 
husband, and he hears her praise with a secret delight. 

She informs the minds of her children with wisdom ; 
she fashion :ie of her own 

goodness. 

The word of her mouth is the law of their youth, the 
motion of her eye commands ohedience. 

In prosperity* she is not puffed up ; in adversity, she 
heals the wounds of fortune with patience. 

The troubles of her husband are alleviated by her coun- 
sels, and sweetened by her endearments. 

Happy is the man whose life is blessed with s 
partner ; happy is the child who calls her mother. 

That such may be thy happy state, fair daughter of 
America, listen to the directions of wisdom, and regulate 
thy heart and life by the principles of piety and virtue.

106 A JwsZ Standard for Pronouncing 

4PPENDIX. 

The Following words, with many others, are spelled iri the difTer 

ent editions of Walkers Dictionary which have 
ent places in the United Stntes ; viz. Now- York. I 
Albany, Hartford, Qon-perstoAvn, Canandaigua, and Bellows Fails. 

Note. — By comparing the different editions of Walker's Dictiennn 
published at different places?, and taking any one of them for a si 
we shall find that they disagree in the spelling of hundreds of words. Fen 
I this reason, I have inserted a list of the most, important words whi< : 
| spelled diflerently, and have endeavoured to shew the correct and incc 
\ orthography. To determine the correct orthography of the following w» 
i I have consulted Mr. Walker's Principles of Orthography and Orfiif 
and the Dictionaries of Messrs. Bailey, Ash, Sheridan, Johnson, Perry, Du-j 
fit f] Jones, and Jameson. 

Many words are also pronounced differently in the different editions of] 
Walker's Dictionary. The large Dictionary printed at New-York, diftorsj 
from the one printed at Philadelphia in the pronunciation of a great many; 
words. This is particularly the ease in the pronunciation of nearly all tlife 
I words in which n is in an accented syllable, followed hy k, c hard, ore. 
: bank, dis-i inc.- lion, con-rjiier, &,c. This incorrect pronunciation of the v 
|of this class, which is found in the large Dictionary printed at I s 
•has been scrupulously copied by the publishers of the Abridgruen 
i Walker's Dictionary in New- York, Philadelphia, and Albany, and at ( 
\ erstown, Canandaigua, and Bellows Falls. See Principles of Proi i 
jNo. 408, and 409, in Walker's Dictionary. Q.uery. Have those who p; * 
! lished these Dictionaries been sufficiently careful ?
